Quality The app has lots of different radars, but they need to work on quality of the radar graphics. Then again maybe that's the way there supposed to be. It does what it states and I needed just an accurate radar map, and it does that.

Absolute must have! I've been a storm spotter for 6 years and this is by far the best app for maneuvering into the best position. The position data let's you hug the core without getting kissed. The integration with Spotter Network and Allison House is flawless. The radar image is not as HD as others, but being able to switch sites and modes on the fly makes up for that. One tap and you get NWS warnings, Spotter Network positions and relative storm position. I've used this for one trip and already is my favorite goto app.

Support is available at radaralive.com.
Composite Reflectivity is often yellow when the weather service has the radar in "clear air mode." This is normal. When there is significant weather activity, the radar will usually be in "precipitation mode" and the colors will be different.

HTC One M8--&gt;LG G3--&gt;Nexus 6 Would be nice if you could select more than one radar site at the same time. Current version as of 20140425 keeps restarting as if newly installed. 20140917: I now have a LG G3 and it also does the newly installed prompts? I see some one else reviewed this app with the same phone with no complaints. I wonder if it is how my phones are secured or I have a SD card installed in both phones? No problem with my Samsung Tab S 8".though. 20150322: Issues resolved but don't know why since 11/2014.

Mostly top notch One question though...is there a way for the winter time to differentiate between winter precip and regular rain in the settings mode? And if not, can you guys plz work on something to support this? Highly appreciated.

This is a Great App... I used this App on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for 5 hours straight covering Thunderstorms moving thru the area, never crashed, never failed. I am using this app with the AllisonHouse subscription, with the lightning display and radar image is fantastic. A definite while weather spotting.

Oustanding! I work outside rain or shine. The data downloads fast and is real accurate. Within 5 seconds I can plan around the weather patterns. Best example: I live in Florida and right now hurricane Debbie is passing through. I was able to predict with this app the next line of showers and work within the window! It's not the most glitzy but it shows you what you need to know! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More features request Please make tutorial video explainging this app features and how to tell if a storm coming by reading the radar. Also, it would look nicer if we can change the way the animated radar looks like as well as the map, just suggestion.

I provide rapid email support to users who contact me. I also provide refunds to those who are dissatisfied.
There are reported problems with Android 5.0 and I will fix them as soon as possible.
[Update: This problem was only for Android 5.0 and has been fixed.]

A Must-Have! Functional, customizable, intuitive, visually appealing, all 'round great weather and radar app for anyone who wants to stay posted on what's happening at the moment. So unique that it compliments, rather than functionally duplicates, the many other weather apps that I keep installed.

Lots of features Been using this app for over a year, it just keeps getting better, just wish they would figure a way to integrate lightning strike data without purchasing a third party service like Allison house etc, other than that, it's perfect....and it's cheaper than PYKL3 , which I also have..... Radar alive pro works flawless on my HTC one phone..
